Hi all! I was just wondering...should I upgrade all my walls to level 8? or should I upgrade both of my X-Bows to level 3?

Im in the same situation but I went from l1 Xbows to l3 over the walls. I need about 90 walls left and chose xbows. Get them out of the way.Quote:

I assure you that level 7 walls, level 4 xbows and level 3 infernos will turn you around :D

Also, once you finish skull walls, it's extremely handy to have a way to siphon off excess loot of either type. This way, if you're saving for 5 million gold for a wizard tower (5.36 shuttup whatever), you can dump all excess elixer in the process. This makes you a much less appealing target.
Keep in mind, though, that attacks are basically equally as successful now (with core lego, all skulls). For the first time, last night, I got attacked by a TH10 maxed GiBarch. He successfully breached into my middle layer, and had giants pounding on a lego wall to get into my core. With less than 100 hp left, a different set of giants that had split off, broke a skull wall in my outer compartments, and it re-routed all the giants away from my core. That was the difference between the guy getting 30% of my available loot, and 75%+. First time I had ever really been super happy to have gotten my lego core.
Just before that I had a loonion attack me for 50% loot (don't have max'd air defenses yet, and my base is set up to weak to minions but strong against typical farming bases).
Walls are great to discourage attacks, but they won't realistically stop serious attempts.
If you farm a lot, leave a free builder so while the defenses are building you can also upgrade your walls.Quote:

Jump spell, hogs, and high cost attacks are all going to break through regardless. Go xbows.
Shouldn't you have had level 8 walls already if you're a TH9?Quote:

Take it easy tough guy.
You go up in town hall whenever you are ready to do so. I went to TH9 with full L8 maxed everything, and a clanmate went to TH9 maxed sans final tesla level with L6 walls. It made little difference on getting raided, and had no affect on our enjoyment.
Some players say walls affect your base strength rating in war, so there's that too.
X-bows first.
Never pick walls over a defence*.
Unless you have just 1 builder left, and the next is days away.
This! I'm close to max defenses and army for TH9. I left my whole outer layer as lv7. The inner layers and core are all 8, and I am focusing on defenses, while using lix to get the core and critical T-intersections to legos. Legos are where you are really going to deter attackers. It takes three WBs (unless he has lv6, in which case you're probably getting smashed anyways).Quote:

Lvl 3 xbows for sure coz of the high dps and rapid fire they create havoc for opponents :)
Despite what others say, you are so right. Walls suck to upgrade, but they only get worse.... Much worse. The problem is that if u can't grind out lvl 8 walls at th 8, u won't likely get lvl 10 th9. At th10 you'll either never do them or have to gem.... So yeah, big issueQuote:

Eh, I did the same thing. I'm good, thanks. Even with ♥♥♥♥ walls and half filled storages people still go for the easy snipe with my farming layout. And even when someone with troops slightly better than mine comes along it usually doesn't end with over half my available resources taken.Quote:

Keep in mind I agree xbow is the way to go, but remember people will eventually run out of wallbreakers and have you ever seen a level 30 barb king mindlessly pounding on a lava wall while being completely ravaged by teslas? It will bring a smile to your face.Quote:

I'd do the bows. 7->8 walls really only gains you intimidation factor with no real defensive upgrade.
I don't understand how you think this is a mystery. The obvious answer: some people DON'T know.Quote:

Average dps of all your defenses will be about +10% to +15% depending on base layout.
28 walls lvl8
Cost: 7 Million Gold
Effect: 10% or your walls have +500 hitpoints more (3000 vs. 2500)
Average hitpoints of you base: Max +5% if you do the core, far less, if you Upgrade the rest of the walls
I think it should be clear, that you should do the xbows and most of the defenses first. Skulls are a nice way to dump Gold, if you have too much, but as Long as you have the builders available you will get much more strength from upgrading defenses.

I started on my walls a couple weeks ago, and now I have around 40 level 9, and the rest are level 8. I'm doing just fine. Oh, by the way, I also went to TH10 with both heroes under level 10. My BK is now at 15 and my AQ is about to be 18. I'm grinding out walls and heroes now, and having a blast farming the league bonus in Master 2/1.Quote:
